Haskell is a good, useful, and practical programming language.

Indeed, there is a lot of room for improvements. But I just wanted to acknowledge and thank the work of those involved in HLS which IMHO was a game changer in that regard.
No HLS support for the "recommended" 9.2.5?
2 projects | reddit.com/r/haskell | 5 Dec 2022

Specifically, gchup and HLS are both opensource community efforts. If you want to see HLS work with ghc-9.2.5, you may want to ask https://github.com/haskell/haskell-language-server or, better, provide them a PR that builds HLS with ghc-9.2.5.
dev environment for windows

Sadly ghcup tui is not available on windows, but you can check the available versions with ghcup list. Hls lists the compatible versions of ghc at their github releases. For 1.8.0.0 I went with 9.4.2. To install it and set it to default you have to use the ghcup install ghc 9.4.2 then the ghcup set ghc 9.4.2. Hopefully this will be useful to someone with the same problem.
HLS issues an error for Setup.hs and Spec.hs (using hspec-discover)

Here's an issue I created for it: https://github.com/haskell/haskell-language-server/issues/3348
Transform your old and tired Haskell source files in shining Notebooks
2 projects | reddit.com/r/haskell | 16 Nov 2022

The code is executed by HLS, see https://github.com/haskell/haskell-language-server/blob/master/plugins/hls-eval-plugin/README.md and then its markdown/html output is displayed by VS Code.
What is the correct way to compile non-haskell sourcefiles in a cabal project.
3 projects | reddit.com/r/haskell | 7 Oct 2022

As you can see there, Shake is also a good fit for Cabal scripts. And Cabal scripts work better in 3.8. There are still issues loading them with HLS, but hopefully not for long. For this reason, I also have a build.sh which wraps that, allowing the script to be loaded via GHC directly, but I look forward to being able to remove this.

[ANNOUNCE] GHC 9.4.1-rc1 is now available
2 projects | reddit.com/r/haskell | 22 Jul 2022

AFAIK the latest GHC version which the haskell language server (which is what the vs code extension uses) supports is 9.2.2, so not yet, I'd say.
Proper editor support?

As far as I could see this bug is already reported. It is about stack not being able to handle multi crate project.

Ever tried lekash IDE?

There are Nix based installation instructions for Mac and Linux. (Getting familiar with Nix can help with managing the Haskell package and tools ecosystem more generally – so it's good Yak shaving...).
